1 Viral and Bacterial Diseases Part 1 Skin, Respiratory, and Alimentary Infections

2 Bacterial Diseases of Skin Staphylococcus aureus folliculitis inflammation of a hair follicle, Boils (furuncles) single localized inflammation, carbuncles series of boils draining pus, scalded skin syndrome skin peels off the body as if it had second degree burns caused by a toxin, MRSA Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Streptococcus pyogenes Impetigo blisters that weep plasma and form golden colored crusts

Corynebacterium diphtheriae Diphtheria formation of whitish-gray pseudomembrane on throat and mucous membrane - powerful toxin (since it is an enzyme can be re- used) Haemophilus influenzae pink-eye - conjunctivitis Streptococcus pneumoniae sinus infections and ear-aches aches

22 Otitis media Figure 23.7

23 Viral Upper Respiratory Infections Common cold - Rhinovirus (a naked RNA virus - very small) - scratchy throat, nasal discharge, malaise, headache, cough Adenoviral Pharyngitis - Adenovirus (a naked DNA virus with spikes) - presents with fever (unlike cold), very sore throat, severe cough, swollen lymph nodes on neck, pus on tonsils and throat, and conjunctivitis.

24 Rhinovirus Figure 23.8

25 Bacterial Pneumonia Infections Streptococcus pneumoniae encapsulated gram +; secondary, 1-31 days, severe, vaccine available Klebsiella pneumoniae - gram -; opportunistic, days, less severe, no vaccine Mycoplasma pneumoniae no cell wall; primary, weeks, less severe, no vaccine

30 Bacterial- Other Lower Respiratory Infections Bordetella pertussis- Whooping Cough - persistent staccato cough followed by whoop to get air Mycobacterium tuberculosis TB Acid fast bacteria, forms plaques on lungs (seen by X-X Rays) Legionella pneumophilia Legionaire s disease, Pontiac Fever Transmitted by aerosolized water droplets cooling tanks for AC systems

36 Influenza Influenza can be deadly antigenic drift changes in Hemagglutinin and Neuramidase spikes yearly; antigenic shift major changes when animal flu virus co-infects someone and a segment of RNA genome is swapped.) Symptoms: Fever, muscle aches, lack of energy, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion, cough.

37 Antigenic shift Figure 23.22

38 RSV Respiratory Syncytial Virus affects children mostly Cells of lungs fuse to form a giant Syncia Syncia cell decreases gas transport- Symptoms include runny nose, cough, fever, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and a dusky color (due to less oxygen intake).

39 A cold for all seasons

40 HPS Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome aka Sin Nombre virus (no-name name virus) affected 4 corners area of SW United States in 1993 transmitted by mouse droppings. Symptoms: fever, muscle aches, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, shortness of breath, shock. 40% mortality rate.

41 Cases of Hanta virus Figure 23.23

42 Bacterial Upper Alimentary Infections Streptococcus mutans -Dental caries (tooth decay) - requires sugar, acidic environment and tooth to cause the decay Treponema, Fusobacterium, Prevotella - Trench mouth - abrupt onset, fever, bleeding, painful gums, and foul odor. Helicobactera pylori - stomach ulcers - bacteria produces an alkaline environment to survive in gastric juices (very acidic environment)

52 Bacterial Lower Alimentary Infection Vibrio cholerae Cholera contaminated water - huge loss of water due to changes in electrolytes caused by the cholera toxin typically 20 L of water a lost each day - bacteria adhere tightly to intestines Campylobacter jejuni Food poisoning from fowl or unpasteurized milk. diarrhea and vomiting with severe abdominal cramping

55 Salmonella Salmonella enterica Typhi Typhoid Fever (5 F s of transmission - food, flies, feces, fingers, fomites) food handlers that don t wash hands high fever, delirium, abcesses,, septicemia, shock, but no diarrhea. Salmonella enterica Typhimurium Salmonellosis transmitted by products with raw eggs (cookie dough) also transmitted by pets such as turtles, iguanas, baby chickens, and ducks. most common symptom - diarrhea

56 Bacterial- Lower Alimentary Infections Shigella Shigellosis Bacterial Dysentery other symptoms: headache, vomiting, fever, stiff neck, convulsions, and joint pain spread by oral-fecal route humans are the only source transmitted by fecally contaminated food or water. Escherichia Most are normal flora, but several groups are pathogenic Enterotoxigenic (ETEC), Enteroinvasive (EIEC), Enteropathogenic (EPEC), and Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC). An EHEC group - E. coli O157:H7 - caused the Jack in the Box hamburger infections). Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome causes blood cells to lyse in small blood vessels causes anemia and kidney failure.

57 Pathogenesis of shigellosis Figure 24.14

58 Mechanisms of Pathogenesis for Enterobacteriacae Attachment must attach so they are not swept away Toxin Production Toxins will either 1)increase secretion of water and electrolytes or 2) destroy cells by stopping protein synthesis. Cell Invasion Activates endocytosis and avoids lysozyme in order to multiply within the cell Loss of Microvilli Substances enter the host cell and rearrange the actin to form tails in order to move throughout the cytoplasm.

59 Viral Lower Alimentary Infections Hepatitis A Inflammation of the liver fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, right-sided abdominal pain, dark colored urine clay colored feces, and jaundice - fast food restaurants that do not have good hygiene among cooks - vaccine available Rotavirus vomiting and slight fever, followed by profuse watery diarrhea - contaminated water source oral-fecal route common among children most children have built up an immunity by age 5 vaccine was on market for short time pulled off the market in Norwalk virus - Cruise ship disease contaminated shellfish -
